Today, 7 August, it became known that the European Union is imposing sanctions on five individuals linked to Russia’s military-industrial complex.
The EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas wrote about this on X; the Council of the European Union’s press service published the list of these individuals.
“Every new attack on Ukraine is yet another reason for Europe to increase pressure on Russia. In response to the latest series of Russian air strikes, the EU today imposed new sanctions on five individuals involved in Russia’s military-industrial complex,” Kallas said.
According to the politician, as the Russian army has become bogged down on the battlefield, Moscow is further intensifying its campaign of terror against civilians. Therefore, the EU must continue to increase pressure on Russia until Moscow ends its war.
Each new attack on Ukraine is another reason for Europe to tighten the screws on Russia.
